Covid-19 has brought unprecedented changes which have effected so many of us so quickly and as more organisations move to remote working, human connection has never been more important. Remote working can increase feelings of loneliness and isolation which are risk factors for mental ill health however the principals of support and care are the same, we just might have to apply them differently.
Whilst we aren’t in a position to provide professional advice ourselves, we have avenues we can signpost to if necessary such as our EAP platform or the government-funded corporate partnership with Able Futures.
Judy presented reassuring information about the psychological impact of home working and will guide you through constructive steps that you and your team can take to maintain positivity, well-being and motivation in isolation.
